Donald Scott Hello, my name is Donald Scott and I would like to be your Physical Sciences coordinator for next year. Don’t vote for me because I am you friend, but rather because I am the most qualified. Not only am I taking two supplemental Physics courses over the summer, but for those of you the know me, you can testify that when it comes to getting things done and doing them well, I am quite a stickler. I am a motivated person who, with certainty, will ensure that next year’s Science Olympiad members will be prepared and a real competitive force (especially in the Physical Sciences division). As I am sure we are all aware, this year Science Olympiad had a distinct lack of leadership and/or leader competence. Using this year as an example, I will correct all of the critical errors in leadership. To start, as a coordinator, I would demand that events be allocated within the first handful of meetings. This would allow new members to get a feel of what the possibilities are and then it would quickly narrow down to specific topics. With this accomplished, club wide meetings can be significantly more effective. You, the members of the club, would be able to receive information about only the topics that interest you. This stops the sorrowful waste of time last year’s meetings incurred. Furthermore, this system forces coordinates to do their job and if necessary, allows for private, division only meetings. It is my belief that a co-coordinator should initially provide a packet of relevant information. (Armed with my knowledge of last year’s tests, this task would be easier) With that, not only can the members self-study, but it would allow coordinators to take on a teaching position which enables members to actually learn and absorb information rather than just throwing months’ worth of information at someone in an hour and a half. Compiled with this, next year the Science Olympiad meetings must follow a logical recurring schedule. It is my belief that a meeting on a specific day every other week, with additional meetings as we near the competition, is the best plan. In conclusion, if you want someone who will force improvement upon Science Olympiad as a whole and who will lead the Physical Sciences Division to success, vote for someone who actually delivers, vote for someone who will force change, vote Donald Scott.
